DCC ready – this spec is still under development. We are hoping to provide a current ‘best practice’ facility to wire in a 21-pin decoder with sound connections. No designed-in provision for a speaker for DCC sound, but sound can be fitted using after-market suppliers.

Wheel material – to be decided. If the axle needs to be insulated, the wheels will be stainless steel die-cast whole. If the wheels need to be insulated, the wheel core will be brass casting with rim to be stainless steel.

ALTERNATIVELY, a prototypical tender buffer beam with hook drawgear can be fitted, but it must be ordered at the same time as your loco. Email us at [email protected] if you want the prototypical tender buffer beam on your model.
